    Thanks Jimbo, do you know anywhere that will pick up your old washing machine and plumb in your new one?

  • The place you buy from might offer it, maybe for a price though. Some councils pick up large household items for free.

    It's simple to plumb in. Just put the waste hose from the washer into the waste pipe which I assume is there if there is a washer already there. And connect the cold feed (blue) to the blue point on the back of the washer and the same for the hot feed (red) if there is one, some washers only have cold feeds these days. Also remember to take out the transit bolts which stop the drum shaking around when it is being transported. Should all be explained in the instructions

    Basically, when you take the old washer out. Have a look at where stuff goes, then repeat basically for the new one.
